Growth, digestive and absorptive capacity and antioxidant status in intestine and hepatopancreas of sub-adult grass carp Ctenopharyngodonidella fed graded levels of dietary threonine

Abstract: BackgroundThis study was carried out to investigate effects of threonine levels on growth, digestive and absorptive capacity and antioxidant status in intestine and hepatopancreas of sub-adult grass carp (Ctenopharyngodonidella).ResultsWeight gain, specific growth rate, feed intake and feed efficiency were significantly improved by dietary threonine (P < 0.05). Intestinal activities of trypsin, chymotrypsin, alpha-amylase, lipase, alkaline phosphatase, γ-glutamyl transpeptidase and creatine kinase took the sim… Show more

“…Based on the broken‐line regression analysis for SGR, the appropriate concentration of EAE for growth of carp was estimated to be 3.544 g/kg diet. The improvement in growth may be partly attributed to the development of digestive organ in fish (Hong et al, ). In this study, the significant increases in the hepatopancreatic weight, HSI and HPC as well as the intestinal weight, ISI and IPC were observed in carp fed with diets contained EAE for 60 days.…”

“…The growth of fish is related to FI (Zhou, Zhao, & Lin, ). The FI of fish is closely associated with the activities of enzymes related to digestion and absorption (Hong et al, ). Trypsin, lipase and amylase in the hepatopancreas and intestine play a key role in digesting nutrients for fish, of which the activity can directly reflect the digestive ability of fish (Ling et al, ).…”

“…Tang et al (2013) showed that the increase in the activity of antioxidant enzymes in the intestine of the young grass carp Ctenopharyngodon idella is related to decrease in lipid peroxidation and protein oxidation, resulting in enhanced intestinal defense. Similar to colostrum, amino acids also increase the intestinal activity of antioxidant enzymes (Li et al, 2014;Hong et al, 2015). Jiang et al (2010) also observed that the inclusion of components that inhibit free radical generation (myo-inositol) in the diet of Jian carp (Cyprinus carpio var.…”
